Metal, wood and stone
THESE THREE BASIC MATERIALS make up much of the fabric of
everyday life. We’re surrounded by them, from cutlery to tombstones,
from tables to coins. We may take them for granted, but when we
want to recreate them in our montages we have to look at them with
new eyes.
In this chapter we’ll see how we can create metallic effects from
scratch, using a variety of techniques – from Curves to Layer Styles
– that will allow us to turn any object we like into gleaming steel,
chrome or gold.
We’ll also look at how we can use the Lighting Effects filter to
model all kinds of embossed surfaces. And we’ll also take in making
all sorts of objects out of wood, as well as methods for turning people
into statues – and bringing statues to life.
